And that’s exactly how my Pizza Tacos Recipe was born. A recipe that combines the soul of Italian pizza with the bold spirit of Mexican tacos into one glorious bite.

🧾 Ingredients for Pizza Tacos
Here’s everything you’ll need to make about 8 pizza tacos.
| Ingredient | Measurement |
|---|---|
| Small flour tortillas (or crunchy taco shells) | 8 |
| Pizza sauce (homemade or store-bought) | 1 cup |
| Mozzarella cheese, shredded | 2 cups |
| Pepperoni slices (or any protein you love) | 1 cup |
| Cooked Italian sausage (optional) | ½ cup |
| Bell peppers, diced | ½ cup |
| Red onion, thinly sliced | ¼ cup |
| Black olives, sliced | ¼ cup |
| Fresh basil, chopped | 2 tbsp |
| Olive oil | 2 tbsp |
| Garlic powder | ½ tsp |
| Italian seasoning | 1 tsp |
| Red chili flakes (optional) | ½ tsp |
👩🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prep the Tortillas
Brush each tortilla lightly with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder + Italian seasoning. Warm them on a skillet for 1–2 minutes per side until slightly crisp but still flexible. This gives you that crispy, pizza crust vibe.
2. Sauce it Up
Spread about 2 tablespoons of pizza sauce onto each tortilla. Don’t overload — a thin layer is enough to bring that tangy punch.
3. Cheese & Toppings
Sprinkle mozzarella cheese generously. Add pepperoni, sausage, bell peppers, onion, and olives — or whatever your heart desires.
4. Bake (or Skillet Finish)
Option A: Line them up on a baking sheet, bake at 200°C (400°F) for 6–8 minutes until the cheese melts and bubbles.
Option B: For extra crunch, fold them like tacos and cook in a skillet until the cheese oozes and the bottom gets crispy golden.
5. Garnish & Serve
Top with fresh basil, chili flakes, or even a drizzle of ranch or garlic aioli if you’re feeling bold. Serve hot — and watch them disappear!
🔥 My Personal Tips & Tricks
- Cheese matters → Use a blend of mozzarella and provolone for that authentic pizzeria stretch.
- Crispy shells hack → If you like crunch, use hard taco shells instead of tortillas. You’ll get that satisfying bite.
- Homemade sauce → Simmer crushed tomatoes with garlic, oregano, and olive oil for 15 mins. It makes a huge difference.
- Creative toppings → Try BBQ chicken, pesto + mozzarella, or veggie-loaded versions. This recipe is endlessly adaptable.
- Meal prep tip → Prep toppings ahead. Then on busy weeknights, just assemble, bake, and serve in under 20 minutes.
